Ok, so this seems to be working in some cases, but not in all of them. Subtitles that are unzipped in the temp folder usually look like "New Girl 1x20 - Normal (EspaÃ±ol (EspaÃ±a)).srt" and are not successfully processed (so you are definitely narrowing down the encoding issue)
I'm using mainly two providers: OpenSubtitles.org and Subdivx (for Spanish subtitles both of them), and I've noticed that some filenames avoid non-ASCII characters and others don't.

Again, it seems you are going down the right path with the fix above... let me know if you want me to test any other modification.

Would be interesting to see tha failure while using those files. It would help narrow down where it fails and fix it

Ok, let me try to see what I can do. The problem now is that I was able to download all of the missing subtitles using either "opensubtitles" or "subdivx" (alternating between both providers depending on whether one or the other was failing with the encoding issue...), so now I can't remember which one was giving me this headache

Let me get back to you as soon as I can catch an example.

[quickedit]
Something I did notice after applying your fix was that all of the sudden some of the subtitles that I had downloaded but failed to process where successfully processed without having to redownload.
[/quickedit]

sure, but you need to read the first post of this thread again.. we need FULL debug log... its not optional

It is the complete log for the subtitle service since XBMC froze at that step and I had to force it to stop by the win system manager. Maybe you are talking about the previous computer hardware/software information? wait a minute , i would paste that now.

UPDATE: It is solved now, might due to the server busy or something. thanks though.

After running some tests with other TV shows, I can confirm the problem still persists in some scenarios. I was able to get the "zipsubs.zip" (provider: OpenSubtitles) and "subdivx.rar" (provider: SubDivx) for subtitles that are failing to be processed by the script (it's downloaded to the "sub_tmp" folder and extracted correctly, but the script fails to move it to the target folder together with the TV show video file)

The SRTs inside are "The Mentalist 4x21 - Ruby Slippers (EspaÃ±ol (EspaÃ±a)).srt" for OpenSubtitles and "The Mentalist 4x21 LOL Espa¤ol.srt" for SubDivx, but I think getting you the ZIP and RAR files will be more accurate since I'm not sure the characters will be conveyed to you correctly when posted here. What is the recommended way for sharing these sort of files in the forum?

You have pm with my e-mail address, please send it there and I will look into it

Here's what's weird:
the log states: failed to get url 'http://api.bierdopje.com/369C2ED4261DE9C3/GetAllSubsFor/9203/5/22/nl' but if I copy/paste that url in my browser I get a nice response with a sweet xml like page containing several subtitles for the episode I want.

Hopfully someone here can give me a clue as to what's going on... Life is so much sweeter with a working subtitle addon.
